Here are some things to try. Try to uninstall SharePoint and then try toreinstall it again, or try a restore. Try to restore the database on amachine with Windows 2000 SP2 and SharePoint SP1, or original SharePoint andthen perform the service pack upgrade(s) afterwards. Also another thing youcan try is to pre-create the workspaces and then try to restore thedatabase. Make sure that there are no red stop signs for the workspaces(you can see this in the IIs MMC Console, to correct this, restart the IIsAdmin services thru the services in Administrative tools).

I had a lot of problems trying to restore a database back to the samemachine after a disk failure. I had SP3 for Windows 2K and SharePoint SP1installed on the machine before the crash and when I tried to restore itback on a a clean installation of Windows 2000 SP3 and SharePoint SP1, I gotsoo many error messages. I tried multiple different methods to restore itbut the one that worked out was Windows 2000 SP2, SharePoint SP1, then do arestore. This will fail, so reboot and then run an uninstall. Afteruninstalling, reboot again and then do a re-install. After the re-installproceed with a restore and then the isntall of Windows 2000 SP3.

This should work, but you may need to try different things based on yourparticular error problem.
